Can I drive on the street with APR Advanced Track Day Brake Pads?

You can drive to and from track events on APR Advanced Track Day Brake Pads, but they are not recommended for daily street use. Expect brake squeal and faster disc wear on the road. APR suggests its High-Performance Street pads for daily driving.

Do the APR track pads have wear sensors?

No. These pads have no electronic brake wear indicators. Cars that use that feature will need a modification to prevent the brake wear warning light from coming on. Check your pad thickness by eye between sessions and track days instead.

What temperature range do the APR track pads work in?

APR rates the compound for an optimal range of 100 to 800 C, or 212 to 1472 F. That suits repeated hard stops on track, where the pads resist fade and wear slowly, while the discs are treated gently under track conditions.

Which calipers do the APR Advanced Track Day pads fit?

They are a direct replacement for the pads in APR 6-piston big brake systems, FMSI shape D1116. They do not fit factory calipers. The set includes four pads, which covers both calipers on one axle. Order a second set for the other axle if needed.

Should I swap pads between street and track with an APR BBK?

For a car that is driven daily and taken to the track, APR suggests a two-pad strategy: run the High-Performance Street pads on the road, then fit these Advanced Track Day pads before track events and swap back once the event is over.

Description

APR Advanced Track Day Brake Pads for APR 6-Piston Brakes

APR Advanced Track Day Brake Pads are a full race compound for APR 6-piston big brake kits, aimed at drivers who push hard at track days. They work from 100 to 800 C (212 to 1472 F), resist fade, stay kind to the discs on track and wear slowly. Compared with the APR Advanced Street and entry-level track day compound, they are a significant step up in performance under track conditions. They are a direct replacement for the pads in APR big brake systems.

Compound and Construction

The friction material has a slightly rising torque curve, so bite builds as pressure rises, and modulation stays precise. A mechanical retention system locks the friction material to the backing plate for maximum shear resistance at high temperature.

A Two-Pad Strategy

For drivers who also use the car daily, APR suggests running its High-Performance Street pads on the road and switching to these pads for track events. They can be driven to and from the track, but daily street use brings squeal and faster disc wear.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
